Lyrics

[Intro]
May 5th 1993
Aaliyah's diary
Got it
[Chorus]
Age ain't nothing but a number
Throwin' down ain't nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
It'll never change
[Chorus]
Age ain't nothing but a number
Throwin' down ain't nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
It'll never change
[Verse 1]
Here I am
And there you are
Your eyes are calling me to your heart
All you gotta do is knock and I'll let you in
And we will feel the passion that flows within
I don't mean to be bold
But I gotta let you know
I got a thing for you and I can't let go, ooh my
[Chorus]
Age ain't nothing but a number
Throwing down ain't nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
It'll never change
[Chorus]
Age ain't nothing but a number
Throwing down ain't nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
It'll never change
[Verse 2]
Take my hand
And come with me
And let me show you to ecstasy
Boy be brave, don't be afraid
'Cause tonight we're gonna go all the way
[Verse 3]
Don't mean to be bold
Gotta let you know
I gotta thing for you and I can't let go, ooh my
[Chorus]
Age ain't nothing but a number
Throwin' down ain't nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
It'll never change
[Chorus]
Age ain't nothing but a number
Throwin' down ain't nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
It'll never change, oh no
[Bridge]
So what's up?
Here I am, reach
Baby
Come here
Age ain't nothing but a number
[Verse 4]
Ooh
I don't mean to be bold
But I gotta let you know
Aaliyah's got a thing for you
And I can't let go, ooh my
[Chorus]
Age ain't nothing but a number
Nothing but a number
Throwin' down ain't nothing but a thing
Nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
It'll never change
It'll never change
[Chorus]
Age ain't nothing but a number
It ain't nothing but a number
Throwin' down ain't nothing but a thing
It ain't nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
It'll never change
No, it'll never change
[Chorus]
Age ain't nothing but a number
Throwin' down ain't nothing but a thing
Ain't nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
Oh, it'll never change
It'll never change
[Verse 5]
Age ain't nothing but a number
Age ain't nothing
Throwin' down ain't nothing but a thing
Throwin' down ain't nothing
This lovin' I have for you
Lovin' I have for
It'll never change
It will never
[Outro]
Age ain't nothing but a number
See boy I know just what you need
Throwin' down ain't nothing but a thing
This lovin' I have for you
This love we have was meant to be
It'll never change
